We have a Ricoh Theta S camera and have downloaded a number of images taken from it. I would like to develop my own that has these images already included in the app bundle - so it could be downloaded from the app store and users can view the 360 images without being connected to the camera.

The Theta app available on the app store has this functionality, it as default images you can view if you don't have your own camera to connect to. But I can't see how I can achieve this myself? The SDK example seems to relay on http requests to the camera to get images. I've tried removing the connection to the camera and setting up my own image objects to pass to image view controller, but it just won't work.
